ing and shrieks of pain told but to
plainly of the deadly nature of the
wholesale destruction. The presence of
the physicians was hailed with unmis-
taxable delight by wounded men, and
for long hours after policemen and an
archists were treated side by side in the
station house. Here, stretched on a
table, lay Officer Tim Flavin, above his
heart
A Dark Red Stain
that told the cause of his deathly still
ness. His life was rapidly oozing away,
and by his side stood black-robed pre-
late. His gallant comrades lay all around
him gritting their teeth in silent pain,
and heroically endeayoring to bear up
under their eXcruciating agonies as the
surgeons probed their wounds and
dressed them. Death would have been
a merciful relief to many, but it did not
come, and many were doomed to drag
out their burdensome lives MANNED,
crippled, disfigured, prey to weak
ness and disease. Large wounds were
made in mems sides, legs showed three
shell wounds, feet were perforated,
fingers fractured, bullets passed through
kidneys, stOmachs, abd0mens; amputa-
tiOns were necessary. One man not
only had a number of wounds in his leg,
but large hole in the liver and frac-
ture of the elbow joint, portion Of
which had been torn away. Another
had eighteen wounds, principally in his
side, ranging all the way from his neck
to his foot, and two and half hours
were occupied by
Expert Surgeons
In taking out the pieces of shell. One
man had bad fracture of the leg three
inches below the knee and several
wounds above in the same leg, and a
compound fracture of the right elbow.
A piece of shell struck one man over
the base of his heart, tore piece of the
breast bone away and passed in behind.
Another was shot in the left side, and
another had large ragged wound in
the upper part of his thigh large enough
to put ones hand in. Inside that was
was found missile made of zinc. An
other wound on the inside of the same
mans leg was made by zinc which, ac-
cOrding to the testimony of experts,
went Obliquely after leaving the bomb,
twirling SO that when happening to hit
a surface edgewise it would make
linear incision, while if it hit it fiat it
would make a large, ragged wound.
Oh, the details of that night were some
thing frightful, and old soldiers, heroes
of many a battle, SCARED and wounded
in the service of their country, declared
that they had never seen such bewild
ering, horrible picture as that presented
by the
Mutilated officers
who that night did their duty in the
Haymarket square. This, mind you,
was the work of one bomb; one bomb
mape by the same man Lingg in whose
cell were found four bombs even more
destructive in their nature than the one
which raised such havoc, but could not
destroy the discipline, the fortitude and
the magnificent courage displayed by
the police on that terrible night. Such
of the police as were not killed then,
as We're not MANNED and mangled then,
looked at the spectacle of men rushing
to sign the petitions for clemency with
unfeigned disgust and horror. Mutter-
ingS and murmurings of discomfort can
be heard ON every corner. Every
station house would be mass meeting
of upheaved protest were discipline
less rigorous, less admirable than it is.
All
Wise Precautions
have been taken by the mayor, by the
sheriff and by the chief of police. All
public buildings are carefully guarded.
The crib from which the water comes
that supplies this city on the lake is pro-
tected, and to-day sundry companies of
United States troops have made their
appearance, and, by wise coincidence,
will lend their cOuntenance to the brave
front already presented by the well-pre-
pared authorities. So there we stand,
the anarchists defiant, impertinent, head
up and chin up, glaring; their wives
and children and sweethearts begging
and crying or cheering and inspiring
them to continued defiance; the author
tiles prepared for whatever emergency
may arise; the populace wondering
what will happen; petitioners Ell route
to see the governor, and the governor,
as silent as any sphinx, sits pOndering
and possibly doubling.
